Hi Pierre, there are a few places where you can get "play" or "slop" in the drivetrain- we would assume that a recent compensator change would have required the primary chain tension checked and set- there is a spring loaded automatic adjuster on that.
how about the drive belt- is the tension correct? how about the rear shock absorbers- are the bolts tight?
